They also forgot that there will be false prophets and was warned about following a false prophet

*"Evangelicals" have shown the world what they really are.*
*They are Donald J Trump.*
*Anything for money and power to serve yourself and your sins.*

We want a return to reality, a return to normality. For the past 9 years there has been endless chaos, erupting anger and hostility at each other. People are paralyzed to participate in life. There is a mental health crisis in this country. Let us move onward and more forward as a country and throw this narcissistic, pompous former dictator to the wind

We need to follow Jimmy Carter's Christian ways. He walks the walk with Jesus!

IS TRUMP THE ANTICHRIST?:
The Antichrist is arrogant, and magnifies himself above others – Daniel 8:25
And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. ... Grab 'em by the p****. You can do anything." ~ DJT

IS TRUMP THE ANTICHRIST?:
The Antichrist is extremely boastful – Daniel 7:8
“I’m the greatest of all time, I’m greater than Elvis, and Elvis had a Guitar… Elvis had a Guitar. I don’t even have a Guitar” ~ DJT

IS TRUMP THE ANTICHRIST?:
The Antichrist will have love of money – 1 Timothy 6:10

Anyone who falls for the idea that God somehow has a specific agenda for the United States has a smooth brain.

I no longer call myself an evangelical. I have changed to an historical church (Reformed Episcopal in which the services consist almost entirely of Scripture), and have switched political parties. The Democratic party cares for the poor and downtrodden and welcomes everyone. I was a lifelong Republican whose first vote was for Ronald Reagan in 1984, but I refused to vote for Trump. I wrote in Evan McMullin in 2016 then voted for Biden in 2020. I no longer recognize either the Republican party nor the evangelical church. So sad. 😢

Reverend Wallis is spot on. Thank you for preaching the truth.

We have way too many counterfeit Christians in this country. Just look at our pastors,

[susansmith-pofy]

In the Book of Revelation, as in the Gospels, free will choice is given. These false Christians want to take away choice. Christ never forces anyone. He doesn't want robots. Donald Trump wants absolute servitude to him. Dear God, Kamala gives people the right to choose.

I’m Catholic and these “Christians” are a factor in my estrangement from my church. PS - love Jim Wallis - he always makes sense and gets down to basics.

Thank you Mika and Joe for discussing this important topic, my wish is that every american, voting or not, watch your show.

Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth! You are right Rev Wallis.

I've never been able to understand why evangelicals support Trump. It's completely hypocritical.
